Thursday's Threads: Retro Pop Culture edition

Outfit Day already?! I kind of lost track of time again (sorry) and forgot to take outfit photos last night. But I do have flat Stacie photos of last night's riding outfit, so that will have to do... We'll start there.

It was pretty mild here yesterday, with highs reaching 50, and it wasn't too bad last night either. So not too many layers required! That's coming to an end though. Tonight is supposed to be 18 overnight, and weather is coming on Saturday. I guess it is still winter after all!

Helmet: One K

Recycled photo... I haven't been very good about bringing fun stuff over to the barn to wear. This guy has been my go to most of the winter.


Top: Friends

I'm not positive where I got this Friends sweatshirt. But I love the show, and am happy to represent some pop culture from my younger years!

Belt: Mane Jane

I wore this with the black side out and the gun metal buckle.

Breeches: RJ Classics

These look kind of tan against the wood floor, but they're actually a light gray. You've seen them before, I actually wear them often.

Boots: DeNiro

Another recycled photo. So mayday guys.... the zipper is breaking on right boot already. My blue ones haven't done that, and I think maybe it's a defect and hopefully not indicative of De Niro quality.... I need to get an email off to see what I can do. I haven't had these all that long!

So that's what I wore to ride last night, but I have a fun leopard outfit on at work today!

It's kind of 80's tastic isn't it?! Ha!

Top: H&M

A few years ago Marc Jacobs did a collab with MTV and had a sweater similar to this one with the retro logo. I couldn't drop that kind of money on something so ridiculous, but I discovered that H&M had done a similar collab at some point. I found this sweater on Poshmark and maybe did a  little happy dance.

Belt: Mane Jane

Purple belt strap to match my purple sweater.

Jeans: Unionbay

Nothing special about these blue jeans. Just stretchy and well... blue!

Shoes: Miz Mooz

I saw these on Zulily awhile back and HAD to have them. I knew I had tops to match, and I just couldn't resist the pink leopard and the purple starburst on the side. They're amazing.

Purse: Marc Jacobs

So funny story about this bag. A few years back I was shopping at the fancy outlets with my dad and stepmom. We saw these AMAZING Marc Jacobs bags in the store, and they were marked down 85%. Making them still kind of stupid pricey cause Marc Jacobs, but my stepmom was drooling over them. (I think the other one was pastel animal prints.) My dad loves a good bargain, so he treated us each to one. And that's how I got it. And I think it's pretty amazing.

Arm Party!
Lefty:

Lefty kept it classy today with just the Fitbit and the apple watch.

Righty:

Righty however, not so classy... I'm sure it shocks exactly no one that I happened to have a pink leopard bracelet to match. And then these two shades of purple are exactly the same shades that are in the sweater. Plus the lighter one matches the purple on the shoes. All three of these came from Rustic Cuff.

So that's what I'm wearing today (and last night). Any favorites? Thoughts on 80's and 90's pop culture references? 

Thursday's Threads

Confession: I don't have a riding outfit to share. And here's the worst part. It's not that I forgot to take pictures, it's more that I didn't want to. So sorry. But it was cold and rainy, and all I wore was some old warm breeches and a giant hoodie, so really, you're missing nothing. I do have a neon trimmed outfit for today though! It's again (still) overcast with showers in the forecast so I decided to bring my own sunshine to work today.

I was born in 1980. Neon is just a part of my culture.

Top: Lisa Todd

Lisa Todd clothes are stupid expensive, but every so often I get lucky and find them on extreme sale. This is a perfect spring top, it's knit, but very lightweight. I paired it with a neon cami underneath, which you can actually kind of see through the top. It's debatable how work appropriate that is, but there aren't any bosses here this week, so I'm doing it.

Belt: Jessica Simpson

I found this accidentally on Poshmark, and decided to snag it. I figured it would work with this top and it was used, so super cheap. It might be fun with black breeches too!

Jeans: Lucky Brand

I'm not sure what the fit is on these... they're not skinny at the bottom, but they're not super relaxed fit either. They're comfy though, and the perfect length for boat shoes.

Shoes: Rock & Candy

I've had these for YEARS. They're some kind of "vegan leather" which is generally just plastic... They're comfy though, and they've held up pretty well.

Purse: Marc Jacobs

So here's the real backstory on this outfit... I picked this bag up in Florida this winter on sale at the outlets down there. I loved that it was basically a neutral but with that awesome strap (which I could swap out with something more boring if I wanted). And it was this purse that inspired the purchase of my top. Some people ask me how I build my outfits. In this case, it started with the purse.

Arm Party!
Lefty:

Lefty is sporting a leather bracelet that I've worn on here before a few times. I can't remember the brand though.

Righty:

Righty is donning some designer knock-offs. The first is a Michael Kors replica and the middle is supposed to be an Hermes "H" bracelet. It's not... But whatever, it's neon! And lastly is my fitbit in the rubber bracelet. I feel like black rubber is kind of the ideal pairing to neon. Oh the 80's. What a time they were.

So that's it for today. What are your thoughts on neon?
